yes , mittlemotor lists all pieces needed...was about 11k total...

Last one I knew of was fabricated by Kerry Morse, but that was back in the 90s, I doubt Jon would have paid 11K for a fuel tank, but who knows what he had invested in the #40 clone he was building.

I did not know Mittlemotors was building them, makes sense.

beerchug.gif they may not make it, prob. the easiest route to find all parts needed..

also its not a approved fuel cell, its a 100 litier gas can..

I was going to put in a front fuel cell, opted to create something else. 356 tank up front. Could maybe fabricate a GT out of two 356 tanks. Best, MarkClick to view attachment Click to view attachment

Patrick Motorsport’s makes a cell conversion of the original tank. I don’t think though that it is GT replicated...

Nope the PMS tank is only 10 gallons and uses the old tank as a clam shell for the bladder. I had one in my car. The bladder is replaceable since they have an expiration date on them. Plus it’s pretty impossible to get rid of fuel vapors in the cabin, since the bladder is fabric. Besides being required for certain tracks, the only benefit was that the internal baffling prevented my 3.2 from starving for gas in the corners. With a stock tank, my engine would cut out, if the tank was 1/4 full in the corners.

Not seeing a happy answer wondering what are the people doing GT replicas using?

All Gt's did not have the 100 liter tank. #40 does, but it was installed to reduce the number of fuel stops required.

If it was not an enduro car, my guess would be stock tank, a quick trip thru Armondo's site would verify.

Kerry Morse never actually built anything himself.
I actually know the guy who did the metal work, Hes in Costa Mesa Ca, Good luck getting him to make another one though, but he does have all the GT parts in patterns.
